Sign the Petition to

USA ( Nationwide - all States that do not have AA Registers), British Columbia - Canada, UK , Australian and NZ Governments

We the undersigned want ALL animal abusers exposed in our local areas!
We are all concerned about the whereabouts of animal abusers, including the high rate of recidivism amongst animal hoarders, the dangers to a community that are associated with animal fighting, and the well-established link between violence towards animals and violence towards humans.
An online registry of animal abusers would significantly benefit communities and law enforcement. Violence is more prevalent in our society and we need to take a stand to stop it from continuing. Any form of abuse should not be tolerated.
Convicted animal abusers pose a real, ongoing threat to our pets, our families, and our local communities. Proposed animal abuser registries would make legislation that requires mandatory registration and community notification for convicted animal abusers. These laws could also help make dramatic changes with keeping offenders away from potential new victims by allowing animal shelters and humane societies to be able to more thoroughly screen potential adopters—and by alerting the public to their whereabouts.
Please start taking animal cruelty seriously and help make these Animal abuser Registers available.
A national animal abuser registry would close two information
loopholes that allow animal abusers to continue their cruel behavior.
First, a national registry would alleviate the information deficit for individuals and organizations attempting to track animal abusers across states. Second, a national registry would help discourage animal abusers from selling animals over the Internet, a currently unregulated activity.
Currently there is no uniform tracking system for animal abusers.
A national animal abuse registry would help track animal abusers across the United States and any Nation that can create this system.
An ideal national animal abuser registry would provide integrated, easily accessible information about animal abusers from all states. It would give animal welfare organizations, law enforcement agencies, researchers, and the public a single place to search for abusers rather than a number of discrete state databases, much like the
Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website has integrated state sex offender registries.
A national registry that included information from all states would minimize the risk of losing track of abusers when they move from state to state.
In order to track offenders and prevent further abuse, it is essential to establish a national standardized animal abuser registry.
Sincerely ..

How this will help

Does an Animal Abuser Live in Your Neighborhood?
Our communities have good reason to be concerned about the whereabouts of animal abusers. We hear story after heartbreaking story, about animal abusers repeating their violent crimes against helpless animals, and often go on to victimize people as well.
We have the right to want to keep our animals and families safe.
Currently, there are three animal abuse registries in the United States, all of them in New York state, although registries have been proposed in other states and regions. In 2010, Suffolk Country became the first place in the country to create a registry—protect those Hamptons polo ponies! Rockland and Albany counties followed. Two bills that are currently before the state assembly—S. 3804 and A. 1506—are also seeking to create animal abuse registries that would apply to the entire state.
Mandatory registration for convicted animal abusers would aid dramatically in keeping offenders away from potential new victims by alerting law enforcement and the public to their whereabouts, and by allowing animal shelters to thoroughly screen potential adopters for criminal offenders. This in turn would reduce the enormous cost burdens our shelters face in caring for these animal victims.

Justifications for Creating a National Animal Abuser Registry
Despite the difficulties with creating state and national criminal offender registries, there are still benefits to implementing a national animal abuser registry.
For instance, there is a proven relationship between animal abuse and other forms of violence.
A national animal abuser registry could prevent abuse against humans and animals and could help close loopholes that allow animal abusers to mistreat their victims.
A registry could also provide a mechanism to collect research data and better inform law enforcement and animal welfare organizations about animal abuse.
Finally, the value of animals to human life, through their utility or the human-animal bond, is reason enough to stop animal suffering through a national animal abuser registry.
The Link between the Abuse of Animals and Violence towards Humans...
One of the reasons for creating an animal abuser registry at any governmental level is the relationship between animal abuse and other forms of violence.
It is well established that animal abuse is related to antisocial behavior and crime. Animal abuse can also be a predictor of crime.
Many inmates have a history of animal abuse, and it is a potential warning sign of later violent behavior.
Studies also show an association between the abuse of animals during childhood and violence against people when the child becomes an adult.
